We can’t wait to show you why our patients love us!

With 3 convenient locations, we are committed to help you achieve a healthier body that extends beyond just your oral health.

Hypertension
Acid Reflux
Chronic Food Sensitivities
HPV Infection
Systemic Fungal Infections
Depression and much more.

In a safe, judgement-free environment we will partner with you to achieve the total health you desire and deserve. We will help you understand your medical conditions, identify the cause(s) for anything keeping you from experiencing ideal health, and find simple solutions to help you move in a positive direction. We will also serve as your advocate in communicating with your entire health care team (your personal physician and other health care specialists).

Adult obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis and treatment.

The doctors at total health are trained in revolutionary sleep apnea appliance to treat sleep apnea in adults. It's designed to keep the airway open to allow air to pass. The dreamTAP® reduces sleep apnea-associated health risks without the need for surgery, medications, or more cumbersome therapy. The dreamTAP® holds the lower jaw in a forward position, maintain a clear airway to reduce snoring and improve breathing. It’s designed to give more tongue space for the patient.
For adults: a two-hour oral-systemic comprehensive initial examination.

Way beyond the average dental exam, we utilize a proprietary total health history form developed with physicians to help identify any potential areas your oral health could be influencing your overall health.  We utilize the latest technology to screen for cancerous lesions, screen for early disease detection in hard and soft tissues.  Our genetic screening methodologies help us map out which bacteria effect your oral health and how we can develop specific preventative programs tailored to your specific risk factors to keep your healthy. 

Root cause analysis and attack-plan for eradicating periodontal (gum) disease and caries (tooth decay) disease.

Our anti-inflammation and anti-decay protocols are the most advanced in West Michigan.  We emphasize prevention and take a Total Health approach by providing natural solutions in combination with advanced, office-only prescriptions to give you the tools you need to stay inflammation-free.  Included is salivary genetic mapping and a custom plan to take the guess work out of how to keep your oral cavity in peak health.

Annual Carotid Arterial Scan

Through an exclusive partnership with Total Health Dentistry, our patients have a one-of-a-kind opportunity to get an annual scan that could literally save their life.  There is a 98% correlation that what you see in your neck carotid artery is happening in your heart coronary arteries.  Through a simple 5 minute doppler scan with the accompanied result analysis, we can determine if you have plaques in your arteries/veins, what types of plaques, and their thickness.  This information gives you a true look into your arteries and provides a baseline for your arterial health!


InBody medical-grad composition analyzer.

Total Health Dentistry offices provide the latest technology to help you get healthy. InBody body composition analyzers break down your weight and display your body composition data by segmental muscle, fat and water analysis.  The results help you understand where your fat, muscle, and body levels are at and act as a guide to help you achieve your goals: whether that is shedding a few unwanted pounds or a complete body transformation.

Not having specific detailed insights into your personal body composition may lead to critical errors in assumptions, understanding, and recommendations, which can hinder your ability to reach your health and fitness goals. In fact, in some cases, it may even result in serious misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatments, and certainly missed opportunities.

Screening and testing for obstructive sleep apnea, diabetes, genetic predisposition for periodontal disease and heart disease, bacterial infection, HPV persistent infection, and candida.

We take preventative screening to a level often only seen in primary care physician offices. As we generally see our patient family more often than our local physicians, we take advantage of that frequency to help screen for some of the most important oral-systemic linked diseases.

Child Hands-On Education Program

In the Hands-On Learning Lab™ we see all children age 2-18 for a "self-prophy"—a one-on-one mentored approach to oral hygiene skill development. Next, we help each child complete one or more of our 60 hands-on science experiences to further enhance their journey toward a lifetime of whole-body health.

 

Through hands-on science at each and every visit, we are committed to helping prevent childhood obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and obstructive sleep apnea as well as caries, the disease that causes cavities. From the Learning Lab we move to the hygiene room for any necessary x-rays, a comprehensive dental exam, and a professional fluoride varnish application.

 

Setting the stage for a lifetime of oral and overall health begins at birth. The decisions we as parents make regarding habits, nutrition, breastfeeding, oral hygiene and tooth protection can later influence serious health concerns such as tooth decay, sleep apnea, obesity, heart disease and diabetes.

 

Our mission is to partner with you to help each child, by age 18, develop beliefs, skills, and habitual behaviors to support a lifetime of oral and systemic health.

 

We believe your children’s dentist and hygienist put your child in the driver’s seat through hands-on learning, navigating his or her own journey toward optimal health.

Infant Oral Examination

Beginning with first tooth eruption, between 6 months and one year, our dental team will partner with you to learn everything you need to know about your child’s oral health. This will include education and information related to:

 

Lip-tie and tongue-tie identification

Growth and development

Nutrition

Cavity protection

Swallowing

Finger, thumb, and pacifier sucking habits

Home and play safety

Airway development and more.

 

Why before age one?

 

Dental decay is the number one most prevalent disease among children and is... 100% preventable! The American Pediatric Dental Association, American Medical Association, and American Dental Association all agree that prevention must begin from first tooth eruption.

   Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I schedule a dental check-up?

Annual check-ups and cleanings are the general standard for patients with good dental health. You should always be seen immediately if you have any type of swelling, pain or gum bleeding.

What should I do if I’m feeling pain in my tooth?

Ice packs and aspirin can often provide temporary relief until you can be seen, but remember that most dental problems will only become worse in time. Immediate treatment is essential!

What does it mean if my gums are bleeding?

Plaque buildup is the most common cause of bleeding gums, but it can also be an early sign of an advanced gum disease. We will gladly take a look and help you determine the ideal treatment.
